So I just did some testing with modem-manager-gui and got some really interesting results...
As expected, when sending/receiving a text using the gui, nothing shows up in Chatty.
More interestingly, if I sent myself a text from Chatty with delivery receipts on, the delivery receipts show up in mmgui, but not the text itself. Sending a text to myself from mmgui, however, results in both the sent and received texts being visible in mmgui.
What I find the most surprising though is that the text I sent/received from mmgui and all the delivery receipts do not appear when listing messages on the modem, just the ones I sent from Chatty. What's weird to me about all that is that when I send a text from Chatty, it appears in mmcli even though it gets delivered.
As a test, I just texted my fiancee and had her text back. My text from Chatty went through and appears as sent in mmcli. The delivery receipt was received in mmgui and does not appear in mmcli. Her response appears in mmgui, but not Chatty or mmcli.
This, to me, definitely lends credance to the idea of it being an issue with Chatty over anything else. I know Ubuntu Touch uses ofono for telephony and built their texting app around that, but maybe there's a different app that works with modem manager we could use to test
